Flatstick

1. Golf

Definition: Slang term for a putter, because putter faces are considered flat relative to other golf clubs.

Reality check: Most putters are not, in fact, flat. In other words, putters, too, are lofted. You can find putters with zero degrees of loft (true "flatsticks"), but most putters have 3-4 degrees of loft to their faces.

Alternate Spellings: Flat stick

I don't know if it's just me, but automatics and loud exhausts just don't mix.

I don't know what flat sticking is either.. but if I think it's what you're doing (moving the gear selector up and down manually selecting gears excessivly), you are damaging the linkages between the gear selector and the gearbox itself. Autoboxes like that are meant to be left in D, not to be treated as if they were tiptronic gearboxes. That's just my opinion.

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
